Summit League Women: South Dakota State Wins at Omaha, Stays Unbeaten in Conference

After digging themselves early holes in each of the last two games, the South Dakota State women’s basketball team tried a different approach Saturday at Omaha, and it paid off with a 14-point win over the Mavs.

But over the next six minutes, SDSU lost its shooting touch, going just 1-of-8, allowing the Mavs to cut the lead to 4 at 15-11 with 10 minutes to play in the first half.

Neither team shot the ball particularly well in the first 20 minutes, UNO 35%, SDSU 32%, but the Jacks did string together enough defensive stops to push the lead to 34-26 at the half.

South Dakota State shot the ball much better in the second half, 56%, and Paluch stayed hot, finishing the game 8-of-16 from the floor, 5-of-9 from behind the 3-point arc, to lead the Jacks with 21 points. Mariah Clarin added 14, Kerri Young 11, Hannah Strop 10.

SDSU committed a season low 10 turnovers, and remain the only unbeaten team in the Summit League after two weeks.

The Jackrabbits (13-7/4-0) play at North Dakota State next Saturday at 2:00pm.
